A U-shaped surgical device intended to hold the head and neck in a particular fixed position during surgical procedures. It is connected to the skull with screws or pins (not included), typically on each side of the forehead, whilst the other end is fixed to an operating table or chair. Commonly known as a Mayfield skull clamp, it is made of metal materials (non-radiolucent) and may have adjustable joints to allow variable head positioning; it is not intended for applying traction forces to the cervical spine. This is a reusable device.
